Hi old folks
You only need a 12gal or so Vacuum for most routers, they will pickup/suck up all the chips and most of the dust because of the air filter in most can vac.systems, most are rated at 1 micron filtration unlike the bag type vac.systems rated at 30 micron the norm, what go's in needs to come out so to speak
You just miss a great deal at HomeDepot and Lowes they had one for $27/$34 on black Fri. but you may want to check with them they still may have one at that price.
I also like to make as much of my shop equipment as I can BUT the DUST COLLECTOR system you will be money ahead to just buy the Vac. and then just add the hose you need and a wireless control for it.(hose from Rockler / Grizzly plus the control unit)
The good bags are not cheap and you will need two of them the norm.
